Newborn Activities??

My LO is 9 days old and all he does is sleep & eat. I feel guilty because he stays in his swing most of the day and then sleeps in the bassinet at night. We do a bit of skin to skin but is there anything else I need to be doing?? Do they do tummy time this early?

I started tummy time as soon as the cord fell off. I also massage my baby girls feet when she's awake. I talk to her and make funny noises. Other than that she sleeps, eats, poops and pees. Don't feel guilty...

I read in a magazine that even newborns can benefit from reading to them and moving a brightly colored toy around in front of their face. Also i read if you tie a ribbon to their foot and a mobile or a bell an they will move their foot around. I haven't tried it yet but I'm excited to!

We started tummy time at 2 weeks. When she was that small, there wasn't much awake time. We read to her almost every time she was awake and while she was eating. I would put her on the play mat and swing her toys, shake rattles, and talk to her.
